-'''Double Performance''' (Japanese: '''ダブルパフォーマンス''' ''Double Perfomance'') is a rule used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Contests under this rule are generally the same as any other Contest, with the only difference being the fact that {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s use two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in both the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] and the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the competition.
+A '''Double Performance''' (Japanese: '''ダブルパフォーマンス''' ''Double Performance'') is a [[Appeal|performance]] featuring two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} at a time. It was introduced in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' as a variation of the standard [[Pokémon Contest]] format.
-It was first mentioned in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', when [[Zoey]] said the [[Hearthome City]] Contest and the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] would follow it. Due to that ruling, {{an|Dawn}} had to find a pair to use. Zoey then showed her an example of an appeal using her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} and {{TP|Zoey|Shellos}}. The Double Performance rule was first seen in use in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' for the Hearthome City Contest, in which Dawn used her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. However, she was unsuccessful and lost in the Appeals Round.
+Double Performance events are relatively rare occurrences in [[Sinnoh]], with only three known competitions adhering to the format during the entire {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. It is unknown if Double Performances are conducted in other [[region]]s, although [[Double Battle|Double]] [[Contest Battle]]s have been featured in both the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] and the [[Kanto Grand Festival]].
-Later on, it was announced in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'' that the {{to|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}} would also be held under the Double Performance rule. {{an|Dawn}} participated in this Contest in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'' and ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]''. She was able to pass the Appeals Round this time with the help of her Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. She eventually won the competition and earned her fifth [[Ribbon]] after defeating [[Ursula]] with her {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}'s Flame Ice combination.
+==Procedure==
+As the name suggests, Double Performances are a type of [[Appeal|performance]] in which [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s showcase two of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} at once. In [[Pokémon Contest]]s adhering to the format, the Battle Stage will consist of [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]]s.
-The [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], which was held from ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'' to ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' adhered to the Double Performance rule. Dawn and Zoey were finalists during one Sinnoh Grand festival. Their battle ended with a combination of [[Zoey's Glameow]]'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Zoey's {{p|Gallade}}'s {{m|Psycho Cut}} versus a combination of Dawn's Piplup's {{m|Peck}} and [[Dawn's Togekiss]]'s {{m|Sky Attack}}, with Zoey being the victor of the entire Grand Festival.
+When training their Pokémon for a Double Performance event, Coordinators have to focus on giving both Pokémon appropriate attention, coordinating the course of action each Pokémon will follow in order to ensure that their style and skill will be displayed properly. Such being the case, the order the Pokémon are presented in must be considered. The Pokémon can be shown using [[move]]s one at a time or performing simultaneously. Once this has been decided, Coordinators need to find a good way to get their Pokémon to pose after they have completed their moves.
-The [[Hoenn Grand Festival|Hoenn]] and [[Kanto Grand Festival]]s are not considered Double Performance competitions because they only had Double Battles in their last few rounds. There were no Double Appeals in either of these Grand Festivals.
+Even if performed in sequence rather than in concurrence, the moves must complement one another as the Pokémon are judged as a pair. Coordinators have to devise a performance that showcases the teamwork of their Pokémon, as opposed to creating two separate set pieces for the Pokémon to perform individually. In addition, [[Contest combination|combining the moves]] of the Pokémon is an effective way of catching the judges' attention.
+During a Double Performance, the [[Contest Judge]]s evaluate the collaborative effort of the two Pokémon as well as their [[Friendship|synchronicity]] with the Coordinator. As in regular performances, they also observe other aspects, such as the Pokémon's wellness and their appearances. The way a Pokémon takes the stage is also observed. On that account, some Coordinators will use one kind of [[Seal]] for each [[Ball Capsule]], while others will use the same kind for both Capsules.
+==Use==
+Double Performances were introduced in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', in which [[Zoey]] used her [[PC|laptop]] to show {{an|Dawn}} a video of a Double Performance delivered by [[Top Coordinator]] {{jo|Marina}}. The video was hosted in the official [[Pokémon Contest]] website and featured [[Wani-Wani]] and {{DL|Marina (Johto)|Pink}}. After showing Dawn the video, Zoey told her that the [[Hearthome City]] [[Pokémon Contest]] and the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] would follow the format and helped her with {{pkmn|training}} {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} for this kind of performance.
+The Double Performance format was first seen in use in the Hearthome Contest, which took place in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]''. Dawn and her [[rival]]s Zoey, [[Jessilina]], and [[Nando]] entered the event, which was won by Nando.
+In ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', [[Marian]] announced that the [[Daybreak Town]] Pokémon Contest would follow the format and showed a clip of a Double Performance featuring a {{p|Lucario}} and a {{p|Froslass}}. The Daybreak Contest took place from ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'' to ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]'' and had Dawn, [[Ursula]], and Jessilina among the competitors. In the end, Dawn won the event, earning her fifth [[Ribbon]].
+The Sinnoh Grand Festival was held from ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'' to ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' and had 108 entrants, including Dawn, Zoey, {{si|Kenny}}, Ursula, Nando, and Jessilina. After evaluating the Double Performances, the panel of judges narrowed this number down to 32. The event was won by Zoey.
+Below is a list of Double Performances delivered by main and regular {{cat|anime characters}}. If the performance was a success, it means that the [[Contest Judge]]s allowed the {{pkmn|Coordinator}} to advance to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]]. If the performance was a failure, it means that the Coordinator was eliminated from the competition.

+| {{TP|James|Carnivine}} walks into the stage alongside [[Jessie|Jessilina]] with {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}'s [[Poké Ball]] inside its mouth. When Jessilina begins playing her {{p|Arbok}}-shaped flute, Seviper pops out of its Poké Ball and joins Carnivine. The two perform a synchronized routine before Seviper jumps into the air and spins in a circle. Carnivine then fires {{m|Bullet Seed}} towards Seviper, creating a fireworks display.

+| {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} uses {{m|Bubble Beam}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} follows with {{m|Ice Beam}}, freezing the bubbles floating around [[Contest Hall|the arena]]. After that, Buneary uses {{m|Bounce}} to leap in the frozen bubbles, displaying its footwork. Buneary and Piplup then use a variation of the technique they perfected in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' and Piplup does so while simultaneously using {{m|Peck}}. The two of them finish the performance by popping up the bubbles to send a shower of sparkles down to the crowd.

+| {{p|Jigglypuff}} uses {{m|Rollout}} to roll over {{TP|Ursula|Gabite}}'s body and Gabite uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to launch Jigglypuff into the air. Gabite then uses {{m|Stone Edge}}, which Jigglypuff destroys with {{m|Hyper Voice}}. After that, Jigglypuff uses {{m|Gyro Ball}} to spin over the sand dunes created by Gabite's {{m|Sand Tomb}}, the clash generating rainbow-colored dust. The presentation ends with Gabite using {{m|Dragon Claw}} while Jigglypuff spins on her claw.

+| [[File:Ursula Flareon Vaporeon.png|160px]]
+| [[Ursula]]'s two {{p|Eevee}} exchange {{m|Iron Tail}} attacks and then use {{m|Hidden Power}}, which creates multiple small luminous balls. After that, Ursula tosses a [[Fire Stone]] and a [[Water Stone]] in the air and each Eevee grabs an [[Evolution stone]], causing them to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} and the luminous balls to change color. Flareon and Vaporeon then fire the Hidden Power before landing onstage.

+| {{p|Kricketot}} and {{p|Altaria}} start by floating through the air, with Kricketot circling Altaria. Altaria then goes upward using {{m|Perish Song}} and Kricketot follows with {{m|Sing}}. The two moves [[Contest combination|combine]] and the {{wp|musical note}}s from Sing become surrounded by the colored aura from Perish Song.

+| [[File:Jessilina dress reveal.png|160px]]
+| {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} uses {{m|Haze}} to create a circular spiral of smoke around itself. [[Jessie|Jessilina]] then jumps and lands onto Seviper's head without disturbing the Haze. After that, {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} uses {{m|Sonic Boom}} and aims it directly at Jessilina, causing a brilliant glow. The attack shreds Jessilina's original outfit, revealing a brand new one beneath it.
+| [[Jessie|Jessilina]]

+| [[File:Zoey Gastrodon Lumineon.png|160px]]
+| After the stage opens to reveal a pool, {{p|Lumineon}} and {{TP|Zoey|Gastrodon}} blast out of it. Lumineon then uses {{m|Aqua Ring}} while Gastrodon uses {{m|Water Pulse}} and the two moves fuse to form rings with a water veil. As the rings float over the water's surface, Lumineon and Gastrodon jump through them before they float closer to the surface and flatten out to shoot up whirlwinds of water. Zoey finishes by jumping onto the whirlwind in the center as her Pokémon stand next to her.
+| [[Zoey]]
+! style="background:#b0f4b0" | ✔ Success

+| [[File:Kenny Empoleon Floatzel.png|160px]]
+| {{p|Floatzel}} uses {{m|Aqua Jet}} upwards and {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}} uses {{m|Hydro Cannon}} at the Aqua Jet trail, turning it into a large waterfall. Floatzel then uses {{m|Razor Wind}}, which disperses the water around himself into multiple flying discs, and Empoleon follows with {{m|Metal Claw}}, shattering the discs to create a colorful mist. Floatzel uses {{m|Whirlpool}} and turns it sideways to face Empoleon, who uses {{m|Flash Cannon}} at the Whirlpool. The [[move]] is too powerful to be contained; the Whirlpool collapses and Floatzel is thrown back.

+| {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} uses {{m|Ice Beam}} to create a large frozen path resembling a roller coaster. {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} then uses {{m|Flame Wheel}}, rolling over the path and melting a trench for Buneary to slide on. After that, Buneary charges an Ice Beam and Cyndaquil uses {{m|Smokescreen}} in order to cloak themselves above a large frozen spike. When the smoke is blown away, Buneary is seen inside a [[Poké Ball]] made of ice as Cyndaquil stands on top with the flames on its back ignited and looking like wings of fire.

+==Trivia==
+* Although {{player}}s cannot use two Pokémon at once during Pokémon Contest Spectaculars in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{ga|May}} is seen performing with a {{me|Altaria}} and a {{me|Audino}} in the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]].
